Dear Parents,
Spelling:
Our first three new 2nd Grade Red Words for the 4th quarter are almost, does, and eight. Our “Green Word Pattern” phonics lesson this week will be the vowel team “ea” as in head.
Red Words
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
“Red Words” are non-phonetic words that do not follow the rules and cannot be sounded out.
Our 4th quarter 2nd grade Red Words are as follows: almost, does, and eight. We will study these words throughout the week before we have our final spelling test on Friday, March 26th.
Green Word Pattern Focus
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words
Our “Green Word” pattern/focus for the week will be the vowel team “ea” as in head. Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages brought home in your child’s folder. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more words for the vowel team pattern “ea” as in head on their Friday spelling test.
Reading
Identify the main topic of a multiparagraph text as well as the focus of specific paragraphs within the text.
Compare and contrast the most important points presented by two texts on the same topic.
We will begin our study of the famous “unsinkable” ship, the Titanic. During this week, students will read several informational digital texts that contain a multitude of facts regarding the making of the ship and its voyage across the ocean (National Geographic Readers: Titanic and Man-Made Disasters Titanic). Students will also watch video clips of the actual footage of how the ship was made and information regarding the passengers that sailed upon this luxurious ocean linear.
Writing
Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and, also) to connect opinion and reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section.
Our writing focus will continue to be opinion writing activities within our reading and social studies curriculum. (W2.2) Students will complete their written biography about their own musher from the Iditarod race.
Math
Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, thirds, half of, a third of, etc., and describe the whole as two halves, three thirds, four fourths. Recognize that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape.
Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.
We will continue to review our strategies for adding and subtracting within 1,000 on a daily basis. We will continue to use our place value chart math drawings and to use the written vertical algorithm method to represent the composition when adding and subtracting. This week we will also apply the use of fractions to tell time.
Science/Social Studies
Our Social Studies standard will be reading information displayed on bar graphs that can be used to compare quantities (SS.13), resources that can be used in various ways (SS.14), and how most people around the world work in jobs in which they produce specific goods and services (SS.15)
Thank you,
